Scale Down Challenge

I was the developer and designer for the web app portion of Scale Down Challenge. Scale Down Challenge is a project by HOLY (a Dutch non-profit) that was developed to to teach kids about sustainable consumption. 30 playful challenges invite children, to rethink and react on our consumption habits. The projects starting point was a five foot traveling grocery scale, which kids used to pick their challenges,

they are given a receipt with a code which gives them the tools to engage with the online presence of the scale and participate in the growing community.

This was a quick low budget project, part of my "challenge" was to design and develop an engaging experience using existing and accessible technologies within tight budgetary and time constraints.

Unfortunately most of the "web-app" portion of the website has been offline since Instagram changed their API policies this summer.
